Tomasz:
 
One improvement over Ensign, imo, is to bypass 
"width," "left," and "right" and just have price and % print all of the 
time and be positioned against the right axis.  Together with empty bar 
space, this places this information off the chart, which all too 
often clutters up the chart right where one wants to study price 
structure.  I set the default width to 25 which takes care of the price 
label, but the % label is still within the chart body.  Along the same 
lines, it would be quite handy to permit automatic exclusion of retracement 
levels that are too small and no longer of interest.  In other words, if 
the price is at a .786 retracement, there is usually no need to plot more than 
one smaller level (e.g., .618).  This type of switch would allow the 
specified levels to remain unchanged on the property page and yet each time 
produce the minimum retracement lines on the chart.

current upper point of the trend line.If you check other programs like 
Ensign for example - it works the same way there.Best
